The Executive Leadership Council will honor Exelon with the 2026 ELC Corporate Award at The ELC Recognition Gala on Friday, Oct. 30, at the Ga***rd National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.

The Corporate Award recognizes companies with a sustained commitment to developing talent, strengthening leadership pipelines and creating impact in the communities they serve. Exelon’s record shows that commitment at every stage:

Nearly $114 million invested in workforce development since 2019
More than 19,000 people in over 100 programs in 2025 alone
1,700+ students reached through the Exelon Foundation STEM Academies, with scholarship recipients now joining Exelon full time

“A strong leadership pipeline begins long before someone receives an executive title,” said The ELC President and CEO Michael C. Hyter.

As The ELC marks 40 years of developing leaders, we’re proud to celebrate Exelon and President and CEO Calvin Butler during Gala Week.

Who are you becoming, and are you allowing outside voices to shape that vision?

In this LDE Masterclass recap, Dr. Christopher Boone shares a powerful perspective on personal growth and leadership: your development is ultimately your responsibility.

A growth mindset means continuing to learn, improve, and recognize your potential to lead. It also means knowing who is in your corner, having a clear sense of direction, and trusting your own voice when outside opinions get loud.

Leadership development starts with a commitment to keep growing, and LDE gives professionals the opportunity to learn, reflect, and build the skills needed for their next chapter.
